ZBrush 4: It's so dark!

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

This is probably a really daft question but I am a complete newbie who was using ZBrush 3.5 for a few weeks before ZBrush 4 came along.

The most noticeable difference is how dark everything is. I used Metcap Gray for my practice sculpting in ZBrush 3.5, but this same material is noticeably darker in ZBrush 4.

I’m sure something to do with lighting has changed but can anyone point me in the right direction. I’m finding it really hard to see what I’m sculpting with all of the materials.

I’ve found out what it is. I was using the DefaultSphere which is not a ZTool, it’s a project.

Doh!

Some of the projects have the color set to other than white.

I believe ZBrush 4 first opens with Lightbox on as the default, and that’s why the display is dark. I noticed by clicking the lightbox button at the top left of the interface that the screen gets brighter, and the Lightbox panel on the bottom disappears.
